COMPTROLLER TRENHOLM seems to be
something of philosopher, and to have,
withal, due respect for the press. Since his
return to Washington he was asked
what he thought of the editorial criticisms
which had been made upon him in Cincinnati
He said he had no fault to find nor complaint
to make. 1t was what every public man
should expect and what they should receive.
He was not only not annoyed, but he was
really grateful for number of comments that
had been made upon him, and he hoped to
profit by such criticisms long as he
remained in office. He did not intimate that
he agreed with all his censors, but he thought
that dressing down occasionally did an Off
cial no harm. Undoubtedly this is correct
view of the subject, but it is to be feared
that but very few Democratic officials see it
in that lioht

Two Independence Days.

hiadeI phia RECORD.
Independence day in 1863 was a day Of gloom
and sorrow. Although through the smoke of
battle that hung over Gettysburg patient and
hopeful watchers could see the first faint glim
ached to think of the desolation that had been
wrought and almost all despaired of eve. again
bringing order out of what they feared was a
general wreck. Independence day in 1887 will
dawn on peace with her olive branch; indus
try, with her horn of plenty; on education, with
her outspread pinions. and on freedom, with her
shattered chains, while the grandeur of the
spectacle will be enhanced by the blue and the
gray raising aloft to the breeze that flag which
is the common symbol of ALA star for every

THE President says of Tom Ballard, the
counterfeiter whom he has just pardoned out
of the New York penitentiary, that the man
has been in prison term equivalent to more
than fifteen years. As he entered prison in
1875, this statement is somewhat difficult of
comprehension. A year is year, in Jail or out.
Perhaps Mr.. Cleveland takes the prison er's
estimate of the length of time, however.

Reform Is Needed.


An Indianapolis Journal reporter has gone in to
tho butcher business recently for the purpose OF
showing the people of that city what they have
been feeding He has dons his work well
and exposed a state of affairs rotten enough for
a blizzard to feed on. The butchers down there
have been retailing to their customers quality
of stuff that ought not to be marketable in hog
pen. Every city of 5000 Inhabitants and over
should have meat inspector If the truth were
known, the revelations in Indianapolis would be-
duplicated or discounted in almost any city of
its size in the country. In the meantime, those
vultures down there who have outraged decency,
should be sent to the penitentiary.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND was invited to
attend the Gettysburg reunion and copies Of
his letter of reply, which was written in a
patriotic strain, were sent in advance to GER

but will hardly be able to counteract the effect
of the other letter, issued in his absence, and
which was not patriotic.

On the 18th of May, 1887, THE BALTI-

versary. From the earliest period of its
career THE SUN has been "household
word" in the homes of its subscribers, and
a synonym for accuracy of statement, fair
dealing, pTomptness, energy and enterprise
in the collection of news. It is noted
throughout the country for the indepen-
dence, conservatism and thoughtfulness of
its editorial utterances. There is probably
no newspaper in the United States whose
opinion carries more weight or whose in
fiuence is more widely extended than THE
Suns, fact upon which II may justly pride
itself as the legitimate result Of painstaking
care in the preparation of all matter admit
ted to its columns. The Suns facilities
for collecting news from all quarters Of the
globe are being constantly extended and
improved, and new features are added with
out regard to expense as the occasion de-
mands.
The BALTIMORE WEEKLY Sun has long
occupied an enviable position as model
family newspaper, containing not only the
news Of the world and a variety of literary
matter and miscellaneous reading for the
family circle but special features OF recog-
nized value, including an agricultural de-
partment, which supplies every week a
mass of well-digested information for the

Two SIDEs.-Remember that all
questions have two sides. One is the
right side, and the other is the wrong
side. One is the side Of justice, and
the other of injustice. If you take
the right side, the just side, ultimately
men, however much they may oppose
you and revile you, will come to your
support. Earth, with all its powers,
will work with you and for you, and
heaven is pledged to conduct you to
complete success. If you take the
other side, there is no power in earth
or heaven that can lead you though
successfully, because it is appointed
in the counsels of heaven that justice
and truth alone can prevail.
